Well, I like you, I couldn't think of anything but you
For a week I was in love with your hairdo
I couldn't chew those muffins I used to
I knew I was way over the moon
When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do.
When I saw you, when I saw you you said:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on

I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming so solo
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
You couldn't get it right in the disco
You're dancing so much better in slo-mo
When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do.
When I saw you, yeah, when I saw you, I said:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on
